35760 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 127 / Wednesday, July 7, 2021 / Notices 

2014, 2016, and 2018. The 2020 

administration of the survey was 

postponed due to the COVID–19 

pandemic. The 2022 survey would be 

the ninth iteration of the SAGR survey. 

The first focus group assessment was 

conducted in 2007, with subsequent 

focus groups in 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 

2017, 2019, and 2021. Information from 

the SAGR surveys will be used by 4 DoD 

policy offices, the Military Departments, 

the MSAS, and Congress for program 

evaluation and, specifically, to assess 

and improve policies, programs, 

practices, and training related to gender 

relations at the MSAs. OPA will provide 

reports to DoD policy offices, each 

Military Department, the MSAs, the 

Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), and Congress. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Annual Burden Hours: 5,000 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 10,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 10,000. 

Average Burden per Response: 30 

minutes. 

Frequency: Biennially. 

The target population of the 2022 

SAGR will consist of all students at the 

Military Service Academies (MSAs): 

U.S. Military Academy (USMA), U.S. 

Naval Academy (USNA), and U.S. Air 

Force Academy (USAFA), including the 

Preparatory Schools. Excluded are 

Service Academy Students who are (1) 

non-citizens and (2) are visiting from 

another MSA. Students under 18 years 

of age are also excluded. Working with 

the MSAs, we estimate the approximate 

numbers of cadets and midshipmen to 

be 14,200. The survey will be 

administered to all cadets/midshipmen 

(i.e., a census). Based on the 2018 SAGR 

survey that had a 73% response rate, we 

estimate a 70% response rate. To 

achieve sufficient statistical analytical 

power, we will include a census of the 

population of interest in the study to 

achieve sufficient coverage. Each 

Academy notifies students about the 

survey with an electronic message 

explaining the overall survey process 

and providing them instructions on how 

to select a session for administration of 

the survey. OPA staff is on location 

during the survey week to brief students 

and administer the survey in person 

using a paper survey. Sessions are 

typically scheduled from 0700 through 

1500 and follow the Academy’s class 

periods. Attendance is checked when a 

student arrives for their session 

(attendance is only for purposes of 

following up and not for identifying 

survey responses by individuals). 

Academy officials follow up with 

students who do not appear at their 

designated session and reschedule 

accordingly. OPA staff provides an 

overview briefing on the purpose for the 

survey. Students are advised they may 

leave at any time after the briefing if 

they choose not to complete the survey. 

Data will be weighted, using an industry 

standard process, to reflect each 

Academy’s population as of the time of 

the survey. Weighting produces survey 

estimates of population totals, 

proportions, and means (as well as other 

statistics) that are representative of their 

respective populations. OPA creates 

variance strata so precision measures 

can be associated with each estimate. 

We produce precision measures for 

reporting categories using 95% 

confidence intervals with the goal of 

achieving a precision of 5% or less (e.g. 

80% (+/¥5%) of cadets/midshipmen 

are satisfied with their training).
